[P][E?] Adding default sfxes to buttons

[E.D.Revolution]

Maybe because I've been playing with PyWright for too long, but I think there's something missing on the Player end. In the games, every time you click/press a button, there's an sfx. There's an sfx for when you click the big button/advance button. When you click on an option (for multiple choice prompts or even investigation prompts), there's an sfx. When you click on evidence you want to present, there's an sfx. When you click on the back button, there's an sfx.

I know PyWright now has default sfxes for when you click on buttons. IIRC, even PWLib does this as well.

I just find it a little jarring that there's missing sfxes. But before this idea can be implemented, do you think this should be implemented?

If by "do you think this should be implemented?" you mean you're asking the community, then yes, I'd really like that. It'd make things feel a touch more authentic. Of course, it's not really mandatory, either, and I'm not missing a whole lot by not having them. So if it's simple to do so, sure. If it's not, let's focus our efforts elsewhere on something with a little more demand and need.

I think this would be a welcome addition. It's one of the biggest things that's in the AA games but isn't possible (at least not easily) in AAO.

I personally don't like sfx when clicking a button. I like it nice and silent. I think though, it'd be nice to have a toggle-able option of whether you want it on or not.

[E.D.Revolution]

Even I agree this isn't a major addition. Just putting another idea out there.

[Unas]

I don't have a problem with it, and it should be fairly simple to do if someone wants to try developing it.
(as long as we're only talking about default sounds here - customisable ones could be a good idea but would come much later on, when we actually start taking care of UI customisation overall)

But of course there would be an option to disable it.

Now, does anyone have the mp3s for these sounds ?
(and if they change from one game to the other, then preferably the AA1~3 ones, since that's the current design of the player)

[E.D.Revolution]

The default sfxes for those buttons are the same for all the games save for PLvsAA and DD.

[Arivenzys]

I found a liitle while ago a bundle with all AA sounds that could be used. Would you like me to put them somewhere ?

[Reverie]

I don't think they change from game to game (at least from GS1-3 to 4, anyway.)

I'd direct link a few of the mp3s converted, but... kiwi6 is down.
Anyway, the "general SFX" here has a bunch of the necessary ones. Cancel is cancel, obviously, "pichoop" is the standard advancement... they're probably all there.

(i'd also like to say - if this is implemented, please let it be optional, as kwando said)

[E.D.Revolution]

In this case, we're asking for the ones that are used as default sounds. We do not need all of them.

What we do need are the following:

• Confirm. For when you select an option in multiple choice prompts and for investigation buttons. Also used when the check button is clicked. Also used for presenting evidence in investigation mode.
• Cancel. For when the back button is clicked on.
• bloop. The sfx used when the player clicks the advance button.
• Blink. For when the player selects a piece of evidence he wants to present. It shows the evidence metadata and description on the bottom screen.
• Scroll. When the player switches the mode on the CR (Evidence to Profiles, and vice versa).

EDIT: Apparently I'm using PyWright names. They've got slightly different names on CR.

Ah well, thanks ED ! I was precisely about to say that we needed to know exactly what should be played for each given button, so that the one who will take on the task of implementing that can go straight to it without spending hours playing the games again or watching let's plays... but you posted before me.

If you can update with the name of the corresponding files in the CR archive it's perfect

[Reverie]

I was going to edit the old post, but that'll probably get scrolled past, so...

Following ED's naming above: (His name - Name in the CR compilation)

Confirm - Selectblip2
Cancel - Cancel
Bloop - Pichoop
Blink - Selectblip
Scroll - Bleep or Scroll, both seem the same.

[Arivenzys]

I have them, they just are in .wav instead of .mp3. I usually host my sounds on dropbox, but you may want them somewhere else.
If hosting is still needed.

[E.D.Revolution]

@Unas, That's because I've done this for PyWright

If anyone wants to do this project, again like Perceive suggestion, I'll leave it up to whoever wants to do it. I personally think attaching sounds to buttons is a relatively simple project compared to others that might be going on, but what the hell do I know?
